Compostela, Nayarit is a nice small city in Nayarit near the water. Although, I preferred Acaponeta a bit because there were so many Mexican cyclists there. I think small cities are excellent in Mexico because they are large enough to have something happening but not big enough to have all the cars and affluenza diseases as in the US.



We had a nice half chicken dinner with tortillas and salsa for 32 pesos. Dolores of Grilos Pollos prepares the tortillas by hand using a press, which are thicker and tastier than machine made ones.



Lenin, lead singer of the band Escorpión, chatted with us as we were leaving Compostela. He often plays in Puerto Vallarta and in other places around México. His music is banda, an offshoot of mariachi. Salsa is unknown on the pacific coast but is popular on the atlantic coast near the caribbean.
